My adblock plus add-on will not work on Firefox 3.6.3 when I tried to install it. It prompts me to restart, but when I do, it does the same thing over again.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I downloaded Firefox 3.6.3

Try resetting the Extension Manager. With Firefox closed, rename the following files in your profile folder: extensions.cache extensions.ini extensions.rdf and compatibility.ini They'll be re-created when you open Firefox.

Note : Although unwanted files/folders can be deleted, renaming them is generally considered a safer option. This achieves the same result, but allows the user to retrieve any possibly required information from them later on. In the case above, rename the above 4 files as , 'extensionsOLD.ini', 'extensionsOLD.cache', 'extensionsOLD.rdf, 'compatibilityOLD.ini'
